Mischa Barton addresses album rumours

Mischa Barton has denied speculation that she is planning to record a folk-rock album.

It had been alleged that the former O.C. star, who previously romanced musicians Cisco Adler and Luke Pritchard, had turned to music after undergoing reported psychiatric evaluation earlier this year.

However, speaking to People, a representative for the actress said: "Although she's a big music fan, she's never had any aspirations to [record] herself."

Barton, who is currently in New York filming her upcoming CW drama The Beautiful Life, recently denied reports that she had suffered a breakdown, insisting that her hospitalisation was because of her busy schedule and wisdom tooth surgery.
